Mark my words, When People Leave by Leslie Rasmussen will leave you thinking about the story long after you've turned the last page. Why?

Let's start with the stunning blue cover that evokes a sense of mystery while, at the same time, invites us to venture into the lives of three women who are obviously going somewhere. But who are they and where will they take us?

They are, in fact, three adult sisters on a journey to find out why their mother chose to end her life without so much as an explanation. Along the way, we get to know what makes Morgan, Charlotte, and Abby tick as individuals, as sisters, as daughters. We accompany them from California, to Las Vegas, and New York on their quest to uncover the truth about their parents' relationship and their own past.

As the story unfolds, we are exposed to their personal demons, challenges, and insecurities through Ms. Rasmussen's exceptional storytelling and her richly drawn characters. Ultimately, we connect with, or relate to, one or all of these women as their stories resonate, often mirroring our own. We can't help but share their laughter and their tears as the secrets and lies of their lives are revealed.

If you're looking for a powerful story that conjures up a range of lasting emotions, I highly recommend you buy When People Leave today.
